PART 3: PURPOSE

Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI), on behalf of WSTC and TRMC, is conducting market research to assess industry capability, acquisition strategy options, and future competition pathways for the WISDOM system.

The purpose of this RFI is to obtain industry feedback to refine the Government’s understanding of available commercial capabilities, improve the requirement, inform acquisition planning, identify small business participation opportunities, and assess transition and sustainment considerations for the contemplated effort.

PART 4: BACKGROUND

White Sands Missile Range currently relies on manual and legacy scheduling processes and siloed data sources to manage test events, range resources, and related coordination activities. The Government seeks to modernize these processes through the WISDOM system, an enterprise scheduling and decision-support capability intended to improve visibility, reduce conflicts, improve resource utilization, and support more efficient test planning and execution.  

PART 5: ANTICIPATED SCOPE

The Government is assessing an effort that includes initial discovery, architecture, pilot, and MVP implementation activities for WISDOM. Based on current planning, relevant functional areas may include:

• Scheduling workflow modernization
• Resource management and allocation
• Commodities management
• Conflict detection and notification
• Authenticated customer portal capability
• Reporting and dashboard functionality
• Process/policy support functionality
• Agile sprint-based implementation support
• Architecture and implementation planning for follow-on enterprise scaling 

The Government anticipates that the initial effort may focus on discovery and MVP implementation, with potential future follow-on efforts for broader enterprise deployment, sustainment, support, advanced analytics, additional integrations, and localized implementation activities.
